About Ricardo
Ricardo Bolton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and issues with self-esteem. He works with people struggling with addictions, grief, parenting concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career or life transitions. Ricardo brings nine years of experience to sessions and speaks English.
Ricardo uses plain, direct conversation to help clients sort out thoughts and feelings. Sessions are a place to talk through what is getting in the way of feeling steady.
Background and approach
He listens, reflects what he hears, and helps people try small changes that can ease daily life. He draws on several practical methods, including cognitive behavioral work that looks at thoughts and behaviors, acceptance and commitment tools that focus on values and action, and attachment-based ideas that consider how relationships shape us. Dialectical behavior skills and client-centered listening also shape his approach.
Together these methods guide problem solving, emotion regulation, and steps toward clearer goals. Ricardo has supported groups for people affected by domestic violence and substance use, and he has experience with veterans and military-related concerns. That background informs how he thinks about trauma and structured supports for recovery.
In sessions he aims to be a sounding board and a partner in decision-making. He focuses on helping people re-establish their sense of self and find practical ways to move forward. The work is collaborative and paced to each persons needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Ricardo commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep causing stress. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and connection, and it can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, values-based action, or exploring relationship patterns and adapt as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and taught skills practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, homework exchanges, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional growth.
